Shon Review: Heartbreaker Series by Stella Hart

Heartbreaker Series
by Stella Hart
Publication Date: August 17th 2018 | September 15th 2018 | October 13th 2018
Pages: 227 | 172 | 185
Genre: Dark |  Romance | Erotica | BDSM
Source: Kindle Unlimited


Synopsis


Dexter crossed with 50 Shades: enter a world filled with dark secrets, twisted lies, and dirty desires...

I’m coming for her…

I’ve watched her, I’ve hunted her, and now I’m here to claim her - Celeste Riley, my pretty little angel. Soon to be my pretty little captive.
She pretends she’ll never want a killer like me, but we both know that isn’t true. On the outside, she’s pure and innocent, but on the inside she’s just as dirty and twisted as me. Just as broken.
One way or another, I’m going to make her accept her fate. Make her submit. Make her mine.

Forever. 


My Thoughts:


Let's be honest they had me at Dexter crossed with 50 Shades.

What a great series. This series was so addictive that I could not put it down. It's over and I’m feeling book hangover.

There are a couple of triggers so definitely be aware of those before reading.  Triggers including: adult language, elements of BDSM, and violence (murder, rape, assault, torture, abuse, kidnapping & stalking). If any of these are triggers or offensive to you, then this may not be the book or series.

I highly recommend !

Publication Date: December 7, 2018
Publisher: Hoover Ink, Inc
Pages: 333
Genre: Romance | Thriller | Contemporary

Synopsis


Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.


Hello bookworms! I know it’s been awhile. Sorry for the very long absence there! I have been both busy and not busy. I just hope you’ll be happy to join me as I rediscover blogging and reading. You’ll be pleased to find out that I have a book review for you today.


My thoughts:

I don't even really know where to start with this one. Holy crap what did I just read!!!

The story is so twisted it’s hard to talk about the storyline without giving it all away. I will say at one point I was a little disturbed by some of the things, that were said and done in this book. That at time it was actually uncomfortable for me to read.

And that ending! That ending came out of nowhere! My mind was blown! That ending was magnificent and wicked at the same time.

It was an intense read, and I recommend reading it. Just be prepared for your mind to run with possibilities and heart to race.




Happy Reading!

Friday 56! January 4, 2019


The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice. Grab a book, any book. Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader. Find any sentence, or few, just don't spoil it. Post it.

"A year later they found the remains of Kristal Davis, nineteen, a stripper and a drug addict who'd gone missing a month earlier. Someone leaked to the media that Fayette County was dealing with a serial killer. But no one was really worried. The killer was targeting the types of girls who didn't have anyone to worry about them."


 
Happy Reading

Monday Reviews: Follow Me Back and Queens of Geek




Our August Top Ten Tuesday had me wanting to read more fan reading/fan fiction-writing type books. Here are two 2017 contemporary fanfic type books I picked up last week.



The first one is Follow Me Back by A.V. Geiger. It is a lighthearted story about an agoraphobia girl, Tessa, who writes and tweets all things Eric Thorn. The pop sensational singer has enough of these obsessed fangirling fantasies and wants nothing more than to hide and write music. When he learns about Tessa's #ericthornobsessed tweets ranking number one on Twitter, he decides to confront her and make her stop writing fanfics about him. The story takes a funny turn and will completely take you by surprise. Rough intro but great hook at the end. Delightful read.



The second one is Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde. Three best friends takes a trip from Australia to America to attend the biggest nerd convention SupaCon. Charlie is a rising youtube star turned actress and is there at the con to promote her new indie zombie film. The other two friends Taylor and Jamie, have a blast cosplaying from their favorite fantasy franchise Queen Firestone. The story has me reminiscing my time at various cons myself and the intensity and buildup of fan culture. Love the movie and nerd references. Warm and fuzzy reading.

Book Review on "The Lucky Ones" by Mark Edwards

Goodreads:



It was the happiest day of her life. Little did she know it was also the last.

When a woman’s body is found in the grounds of a ruined priory, Detective Imogen Evans realizes she is dealing with a serial killer—a killer whose victims appear to die in a state of bliss, eyes open, smiles forever frozen on their faces.


A few miles away, single dad Ben Hofland believes his fortunes are changing at last. Forced to move back to the sleepy village where he grew up following the breakdown of his marriage, Ben finally finds work. What’s more, the bullies who have been terrorizing his son, Ollie, disappear. For the first time in months, Ben feels lucky.

But he is unaware that someone is watching him and Ollie. Someone who wants nothing but happiness for Ben.

Happiness…and death.

The Lucky Ones is the terrifying new thriller from the #1 bestselling author of Follow You Home.

My Review

I would definitely recommend this book if you are into shows like Dexter and a little mix of CSI. Mark Edwards is a great psychological thrill writer. In this book he gives you the point of view of two people who play a major role in the story. The plot had many twist and turns and there was no way I could have predicted that ending! This book kept me on the edge of my seat and did not disappoint. I also liked that he was very detailed and that made me feel like part of the story. I enjoyed this thrill thriller :) Thanks for the awesome read!
